PRESENTER Anoushka Williams: We begin the News in Cornish this week with the plans being drawn up to stage a trilogy of medieval plays in west Cornwall for the first time since 2021.

TRANSLATION:
The Ordinalia is regarded as a crucial part of Cornish culture and the Cornish language.
Workshops were held last weekend in St Just to introduce potential performers to the delights of speaking and singing in Cornish.
The aim is to perform the full Ordinalia cycle in 2026, using one of the original locations where the plays would have been performed historically, the plen an gwari in St Just.
The original manuscripts that make up the Ordinalia cycle date back to the 14th Century.
Mary Ann Bloomfield, the Chair of the St Just and District Trust Charitable Interest Organisation said: "These works are so important.
"The plays themselves were performed by the community all over Cornwall. It's epic theatre and it's about as Cornish as you can get."

PRESENTER: Our next story concerns former Truro mayor Steven Webb鈥檚 fundraising event.

TRANSLATION
Former Truro mayor Steven Webb said he was ready to "rest and warm up" after crossing the finish line of a 500-mile journey around Cornwall in an electric wheelchair.
Mr Webb has been raising funds for the Cornwall Air Ambulance Trust.
Completing the Cornwall 500 Challenge took 29 days, travelling up to 30 miles every day.
Mr Webb was paralysed after a diving accident when he was 18 - and he credits Cornwall Air Ambulance with saving his life after the incident 33 years ago.
The charity fund has already reached nearly 拢7,000.
Mr Webb told the 大象传媒 the most challenging part of the challenge had been the weather.

Our final story is about the sea swimmers who suffered stings by jellyfish off the Isles of Scilly.

TRANSLATION
The incident happened during a Scilly Swim Challenge when a group of about 120 swimmers came across two swarms of jellyfish, believed to have been "mauve stingers".
One swimmer, Nikki Cullis, said thousands of jellyfish had been blocking the route, she added she could hear the "involuntary screams" of participants who got stung.
Another swimmer, Kerry Friend, said she had been "attacked badly" on her arms, face and nose.
Ms Cullis said all of the swimmers had been pulled out of the water by event organisers after they came across a second swarm.
"I think everybody had got stung in some way" she added.
Ms Cullis said her symptoms had grown gradually worse over time.
That鈥檚 all from me, have a good week.
